GHASTLY CEREMONY IN TIBET.
X-
On® Called the Dance of Death Per-
formed in Their Mystery Plays.
The death dances of the Tibetan
mystery plays, one of which is per-
formed on the last three days of the
year, are called “the ceremony of the
sacrificial body of the dread year,”
says the Kansas City Journal. The
effigy of a man, made out of dough, as
lifelike as possible, and., having in-
side a distinct heart and all the en-
trails filled with a red fluid, ir placed
by four cemetery ghouls in sight of
the humorous spectators in the center
of the yard, and at once bands of
skeleton ghosts rush upon the corpse
to attack it.
This is the time to display the nec-
romatic power of Lamaism over the
evil spirits. Monks and lamas come
forth and go through a series of
ceremonies, the'magic effect of which
keeps the fiends away. But a more
formidable devil with great horns and
possessed of superior powers makes
his appearance and takes the field.
Whereupon a saint or an incarnation
of Buddha himself goes to the rescue,
sprays flour oh the enemy, makes
mystic signs and utters incantations.
The skeleton ghosts and the big
fiend grovel before and implore mercy.
He graciously yields to their suppli-
cations and allows them to partake
of a sacramental meal. While they
kneel before him he gives to each one
of them a little flour to eat and a
drink out of a vessel of holy water.
JUGGLER DID HALF THE TRICK.
Smashed Sir Hiram Maxim's Watch,
but Couldn’t Restore It.
Sir Hiram Maxim, the inventor of
the famous firearm bearing his name,
tells of a misfortune that befell him at
the Mont-Boron Palace hotel, where
he was staying, says a Nice corre-
spondent of the Kansas City Journal,
owing fM his too great faith in the
abilities of a juggler.
“A few nights ago,” he says, “a con-
jurer known on the Riviera as Prof.
Ben Ailbey, appeared at Mont-Borbn
Palace hotel. He asked that some one
should give him a watch; what he
wished to do was to smash that watch
and return it intact to the owner. 1
very foolishly handed him mine, which
was a very high-priced one, and had
been especially made for me in Switz-
erland. The first part of the experi-
ment succeeded admirably, but the
last part was a total failure, notwith-
standing all the professor’s skill the
watch persisted in remaining in a
smashed condition and is ■ still a
smashed and, worthless watch.
“Moral—If you have a valuable
watch don’t lend it to a juggler.”
Reform.
(‘‘White lies” were .-condemned as in-
excusable *> in .a discussion before the
Browning Society of Philadelphia.)’
No more white lies? Wei, that is tough!
We surely have hard work enough
To maintain life’s amenities
Without the weight of such decrees.
When callers come with wits passe
Who had much better stay away,
Can now no more the-maid say: “No’m
This afternoon she ain’t at’ home”?
And when you meet them face to face,
What truthful phrase can take the place—*
And still leave peaceful atmosphere—
Of “I’m so glad you came, my dear”?
Of if perchance you meet a friend,
As through the street your way you
wend,
To him what else is there to tell
But “You are looking very well”?
When asked expression of your views,
What is ,it safely you can choose, '
With no intention to deceive, ,
But say what people want to believe?
Again, when your opinion’s asked
Now won’t your nerve be somewhat
tasked
And suffer much embarrassment
To say aught else but “Excellent”?
No more white lies? It may be so.
But if it is a world of woe
Will quickly shrivel to an end,
For not a soul will have a friend.

Military Honors for Seagull.
A seagull, which, with .clipped
wings, had remained in the Golden
Hill Fort, Freshwater, Isle of Wight,
as a pet of the Royal Garrison Artil-
lery stationed there, has just died and
has been buried with a semblance of
military honors. '
The body of the gull, which was
.known as “Mac,” was placed in a cof-
fin and covered with a sheet. T.wo
gunners acted as bearers, and others
followed the coffin as mourners to the
grave outside the fort, 'where it was
buried with due ceremony. The sol-
diers saluted the coffin as it passed.—

Long Journey for Live Sheep.
A flock of sheep numbering 398,

fore going to the sheep farm in Col-
rain. They were fed at St. Paul, Chi-
cago, Buffalo and Westfield. The origi-
nal number at the start was 400, but

Fowl-Catching Dog.
A farmer in Essex has a novel way
of catching fowls for Customers. A
dog performs this task. The farmer
simply points to a fowl and tells the
dog to watch it, which he does in a

Always catching and holding it by the
neck till the farmer , approaches to
kill it
INTERESTING LETTER
WRITTEN BYA NOTABLE WOMAN
Mrs. Sarah Kellogg’ of Denver, Color
Bearer of the' Woman’s Relief Corps,
Sends Thanks to Mrs. Pinkham.
1
The following
letter was written
by Mrs. Kellogg,
of . 1628 Lincoln
rjg. Ave., Denver/
Wp^gMGblo.,to Mrs.Fink-
Lynn,MaSs.:
Dear Mrs. Pinkham:-
‘For five years I
was troubled with a
tumor, which kept
Airs. JoroA
great mental depression. I was unable to at-
tend to my house work,and life became a bur-
den to me. I was confined for days tb my bed,
lost my appetite, my courage and all hope.
“ I could not bear to think of an operation,
and in my distress I tried every remedy which
I thought would be of any use to me, and
reading of the value of Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound to sick women decided
to give it a trial. I felt so discouraged that I
had little hope of recovery, and when I began
to feel better, after the second week, thought
it only meant temporary relief; but to my
great surprise I found that I kept gaining,
while the tumor lessened in size
“ The Compound continued to build up my
general health and the tumor seemed to be
absorbed, until, in seven months* the tumor
was entirely gone and I a well woman. I am
so thankful for my recovery that I ask you
to publish my letter in newspapers, so other
women may know of the wonderful curative
powers of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound.”
. When women are troubled with irreg-
ular or painful menstruation, weakness,
leucorrhcea, displacement or ulceration
of the womb, that bearing-down feel-
ing, inflammation of the ovaries, back-
ache, flatulence, general debility, indi-
gestion and nervous prostration, they
should remember there is one tried and
true remedy. Lydia E Pinkham’s Veg-
etable Compound at once removes such
trouble.
No other medicine in the world has
received such widespread and unquali-
fied endorsement. No other medicine
has such a record of cures of female
troubles. Refuse to buy any other
medicine;
Mrs. Pinkham invites all sick women
to write her for advice. She has guided
thousands to health. Address,-Lynn,
Mass.
Health is too valuable to risk in ex-
periments with unknown and untried
medicines or methods of treatment.
Remember that it is Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Compound that is curing
women, and don't allow any druggist
to sell you anything else in its place.
Generally a man gets elected to of-
fice not because the people think so
well of him, but so ill of the fellow
who ran against him.
